Glass oem 0 J' 7 We all went to the circus And we were quite surprised, The main attractions of the shows Were folks we recognized. The Nmann outside was telling us The things inside we'd see, The waving hands, the great big voice, Belonged to Bernard Massey. The girl who sold us high-priced tickets To see this big affair, Was Dorothy Marsh in stylish clothes And flowers in her hair. We saw the elephants munching hay, We saw their water boy, We knew that none could care for them Quite like their keeper, Roy. We all gave our attention To the loudly playing band, Their tall, stiff-legged leader Was Bob, baton in hand. The elephants marched around the ring And seated on the first one, -In a little cage away up high Sat Jeannette--yew what's she done? A pure white horse came prancing in, Its dainty hoofs were black, And Shirley, standing on one foot, Was balanced on its back. Skipping on a tight rope thin, And high above our heads, Was Beverly Barker igraceful galb In jewels and feathers red. The next act was a daring oneg The trapeze was so high That Lois, dressed in glittering tights, Just seemed to touch the sky. A group of clowns came tumbling in With baggy pants and noses red, The funniest one was Charles Van Vlack We laughed at everything he said. We met the man who owned it all, The speaker introduced him, With pockets jingling, silk top hat, It was our good friend, Jim. The main attraction of the show-- Just hear the girls squeall It's Kenneth Miller, on parade, And oh yes, girls, he's real. Down toward the end of the big tent Where all the soldiers were, Marie was selling chewing gum, We kind of envied her. The girl we bought our pop corn of Was all dressed up, in blue, We thought Maretta looked quite nice, The boys all thought so too. They say that when the tent was raised-- Now don't you think it's silly? The girls who came ignored the tent, They all cast eyes on Billie. The lion tamer cracked his whip, The lions weren't to blame-- They sat and gazed at Pete's brown eyes 'But school girls do the same. The girl who led the panthers in, With whispers and love-pats, Was Rosalie, who'd trained the five By treating them like cats. The girl who told our fortunes, free, She said we'd all be bums! Was Elsie May, in flowing robes, She's one of our old chums. The charmer of the snakes was brave, The cry, Wshe's greatw, was heardgt Jeannine had charmed them with her flute She hadn't said a word. The show was over, we had to go, But first we thought awhile, Of how the Seniors all got by-- They gave the world a smile! By--Rosalie Hoppe, Lois Rogers, 11510 In luster '
